YEREVAN, APRIL 10, NOYAN TAPAN. A regular 4-day session of RA National
Assembly started on April 10. The MPs had not managed yet to approve
the agenda at the end of the first sitting. According to the draft
agenda, 35 issues and 6 international agreements are subject to
discussion. The annual report on the Ombudsman’s activity in 2005
in RA and on violation of human rights and basic freedoms in the
country is also among the issues. As NA Speaker Artur Baghdasarian
declared from the tribune, in accordance with already adopted decision,
former RA Ombudsperson Larisa Alaverdian will be also invited to the
discussion of the issue and will make a speech. Current RA Ombudsman
Armen Haroutiunian also made such a proposal. The parliament declined
Ardarutiun (Justice) faction Secretary Viktor Dallakian’s proposal
about making a decision to record the above-mentioned discussion and
to show it on the Public Television the next day in order to provide
publicity. Only 28 MPs were for the proposal and 14 MPs abstained
from voting.
